E.Shine Systems' 60W CREE enters the aquarium LED arena ... sort of

E.Shine Systems, China, contacted Advanced Aquarist regarding their 60W LED fixture. This unit consists of 20 CREE XR-E 3W LED (standard configuration is 10 white + 10 blue, with available customized arrays). 90W and 120W CREE -based fixtures are also in the works. This fixture may look familiar. More details after the break.

E.Shine Systems' 60W CREE LED light fixture

The E.Shine Systems ES-60W-CA measures 15.8”L x 5.6”W x 3.0, and is packaged with a power supply, hanging mount, and digital timer. As far as Chinese LED systems go (and there are a whole slew of them), this is one of the better built units.

No details are provided on where to purchase the ES-60W-CA, nor it's retail price. However, for the past few months, this fixture (or an indistinguishable clone) has been sold in the US by several companies and on eBay under various brand names such as SWC. The market price look to be just shy of $400. Whether E.Shine Systems is the manufacturer (seeking wider international distributorships) or another rebrander of this unit is unconfirmed (we suspect the former). Whatever the circumstance may be, this fixture offers high quality CREE LEDs at a cost-effective price.

The bigger story here may be that, according to E.Shine's website, 90W and 120W CREE LED fixtures are forthcoming.
